Forged in Fire: Chapter 8
If someone had asked her why she was so protective of Bette Porter, Tina would not have been able to formulate an answer. Yet, she was fiercely protective of the woman who owned her heart. And it was this protectiveness that had her pulling into the driveway of her mother’s home. She’d arrived feeling much more like Chris Anderson than Bette’s Tina and she chewed on a piece of spearmint gum as she closed the driver’s side door. She wore heels and a pair of loose-fitting, tan, linen pants with a short-sleeved white cotton blouse.
As always, Bette’s heart locket rested in the middle of her chest, directly beneath the cleft of her clavicle.
It was late afternoon and she’d agreed to meet with her mother and sister under the pretense that she’d join them for a workweek brunch. She rang the bell, her hands in the pockets of her slacks as she waited for the door to open. It was her mother who answered the door. She looked classy but worn and Chris Anderson gave her a polite smile.
“Christina,” said Tracy. She hugged her youngest child and led the way into her home. There was a variety of foods on the dining table and Tina’s hazel eyes scanned the items as she stepped into the dining room. Her sister was already sitting at the table and Tina was surprised to see her brother-in-law, Daniel sitting beside his wife.
As she’d walked through the house, Tina couldn’t help but be reminded of her father’s presence. His essence was everywhere; in the home’s earth tones and the deep mahogany of the dining room table. She could feel his influence pouring off of her brother-in-law.
Her mother was standing behind a chair, her hands on the back of the chair. She was pointing to different dishes and letting Tina know just what all had been prepared for this occasion.
Chris Anderson stood near the doorway, her hands once more in her pockets. She nodded at her sister and brother-in-law, greeting them by name. “You really didn’t have to go to so much trouble,” said Chris.
Her mother stared at her. “It was no trouble really. It’s good to see you. It’s been a while.”

No need in name calling now MTS “creeping random gents” lol.. JK. And I did not Tech-shamed you. .. You already had it and I just open the blinds Ok I’ll go read now. I like it when Tina is feisty. at least its and R which means it going to lead up to something Right?
I’m literally laughing out loud. And you did Tech-Shame me. But it’s okay. i don’t bruise easy.
Ok I do admit I had one question and you fixed it. But I couldn’t help it when I saw it .. You cracked me up. I’m not one to pass up a sarcastic moment.. So glad you don’t bruise easily.
Good Chapter….. I think that I would have pointed out that if that car accident had happened the way Dad planned it, that it could have been Tina who was dead and Bette in rehab. Would it have made any difference that dear old dad killed his daughter to save her from a sinful life? And why would he kill Henry? What is the justification for killing Henry?
I still cannot see why a fear of “messing up” Dylan would have kept Kit from seeing her son. He may not have needed therapy had he seen that she was no longer in a comma but gradually getting better. Six months is a long time to keep a child away especially when there is no real reason to do so. People do better dealing with what is, than what their imagination brings about. He had already seen her at her absolute worst, so seeing her on the mend would only be a positive. So they will finally be reunited. Hooray!
Thanks for this chapter.. Look forward to more.
Thanks for the feisty Tina!
Nice chapter, love Kit.
Stay safe and post again soo, please
SG
Oh well Not R I was looking for but good all the same. Brought back some old thoughts for me. but Chapter was good. I’m glad Kit is doing better and ready to see her son. Thank you.
Thank you for this chapter!
I don’t agree with Tina about her family – yeah, with her hypocritical mother she is definitely not ready to make a peace, but with her sister? I don’t know but seems that they could find some common ground. If her sister will accept Tina’s relationship – maybe Tina could give her another chance.
And i agree – time for Dylan to see his mother
Hi MTS,
I can’t hide anymore, especially after your request to be friends with me ????
I have read this story from the beginning and it is fantastic. I still have to catch up with the other stories.
Thank you!
I like this determined and no-nonsense Tina, eh, Chris. Straight to the point, out with the truth.
I don’t know what reality Sis Kait and Ma Kennard live in. But if even this terrible crime commited by Pa Kennard isn’t enough to at least change their tune to “live and let live” and be ashamed of what he did to Tina and the people in her life, Tina shouldn’t waste another word.
Kaitlyn might be irritated by her mother’s religious tunes but she also dismisses Tina’s love for women as something like a pastime. I think I remember some strange comments from Kaitlyn at a family dinner (in your last book).
Anyway I don’t believe that she wants to spend time with Tina. She only wants to make sure that the money from the family business keeps coming.
Great moment at the hospital with Kit. I’d say it did wonders to both Kit and Tina. Looking forward to Dylan’s visit to his mother.
Now I’m anxiously waiting for Tina to return home to Bette and tell her about both meetings.
Thank you for posting!
Hey Kiwi…stop reading my thoughts!! Tina returning home to Bette is exactly the focus of the next chapter!
And I agree. Sometimes you have to cut off those people that drain your joy. You might mend things later, but people should heal first.
I died at “creeping random gents” LOL
Lol! I think that dude from Italy is still on here. He might now be a different screen name and pic. Like damn…is nothing sacred? ????????????????????️????
